WEBVTT CRAFTON, A THREE-ALARM FIRE AT CRAFTON TOWERS. DAVID KAPLAN'S LIVE WITH THE STORY TONIGHT. DAVID: THE FIRE STARTED AROUND 1:00 THIS AFTERNOON. THERE WAS JUST SOME ACTIVITY THAT WRAPPED UP AMONG FIRE AND EMS AT THE MAIN ENTRANCE AS PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ALLOWED BACK INTO THEIR HOMES. WE KNOW THAT TWO RESIDENTS WERE TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL, AND THREE POLICE OFFICERS, ALSO TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL WITH MINOR INJURIES. OVERALL, IT WAS A SMOOTH RESCUE. CHARLES LIVES RIGHT ABOVE WHERE THE FIRE IS BELIEVED TO HAVE STARTED ON THE SECOND FLOOR, BUT ASKED IF HE WAS SCARED -- I WASN'T SCARED. MAYBE A LITTLE EXCITED. IT'S GOOD FOR YOU. DAVID: HIS RESCUE WAS LESS DRAMATIC, HELPED BY A FRIEND. AT LEAST ONE PERSON WAS RESCUED BY A LETTER, AND THREE OTHERS REQUIRED SPECIAL MANEUVERING. CRAFTON FIRE CHIEF MIKE CROWN -- WE HAVE PEOPLE WITH MOBILITY AND HEALTH ISSUES. THE INITIAL STATE IS GETTING PEOPLE RESCUED AND GETTING THEM OUT OF HARMS WAY. IT'S OUR CHIEF CONCERN. THE FIRE IS BELIEVED TO HAVE ORIGINATED IN THE KITCHEN OF THE SECOND-FLOOR APARTMENT WHILE THE TENANT WAS NOT HOME. A THIRD ALARM WAS INITIATED IN PART TO HELP RESIDENTS EVACUATE AND GET TREATMENT. MIRIAM PROUST SAYS SHE'S GLAD SHE WASN'T HOME. I WAS HAVING BREAKFAST, AND MY GRANDDAUGHTER TOLD ME -- CALLED ME AND TOLD ME THE BUILDING WAS ON FIRE. DAVID: SEVERAL RESIDENTS WE SPOKE WITH COMMENDED THE FIRST RESPONDERS. THE CRAFTON FIRE DEPARTMENT ARE JUST SUPER EFFICIENT AND KIND AND HELPFUL. I WASN'T ACTUALLY SCARED, BECAUSE THIS IS A GREAT BUILDING, AND THE FIREMEN, THEY ARE WONDERFUL. DAVID: ONE OF THE REASONS THEY WORK SO WELL, FIRE CHIEF MIKE CROWN TELLS US, HIS DEPARTMENT RUNS TRAINING EXERCISES FOR THIS
